When I began my Monday I had no intention of writing a RoboCop piece each and every day this week, but here we are on Wednesday and I might as well keep the streak alive. To that effect, I submit for your perusal this fabulous action figure commemorating the release of…
RobertCop 3!
Part cop, part machine, all Robert. Indeed, not much is known about the mysterious RobertCop action figure aside from the fact that he definitely exists, is definitely a cheap knock-off toy likely out of a country known for that sort of thing, and definitely forged by a person with poor translation skills. Poor RobertCop never caught on with mainstream audiences, though he’s certainly become a star in his own right, even generating his very own Facebook Fan Page. So here’s to RobertCop, the latest in a long line of OCP failures!

Bring on the RoboCop love! I have to ask: have you ever delved into the few live-action television incarnations? I’m also a huge Robo fan and am wondering if they are worth my time.
Your a huge Robocop fan and have’nt seen any of the TV incarnations?…I’ll save you some time..The SCI FI channel effort was garbage nothing to see here,But the Robocop TV series had its moments albiet Robo being nuetered to non lethal weapons Richard Eden had a good turn as Robo and its worth a look.
The Canadian Prime Directive TV movies (perhaps rebroadcast on Sci-Fi) are absolutely abysmal and should be avoided. They are Dark Justice, Meltdown, Resurrection, and Crash and Burn. They are also sometimes listed as “Robocop: Prime Directive: Dark Justice” and so on to add to the confusion. Worth a look if you really want to see something truly awful, but it will forever taint any genuine love you have for Robocop.
Agree with these dudes below. The show got cut for budgetary reasons I believe, but the satire aspect to it was pretty appealing. There are aspects of the Canadian show that I found intriguing (Murphy’s son growing up to work for OCP) but even with their heart in the right place they’re still shit on a stick and the guy playing RoboCop makes the most confounding choices.
Robert Cop is awesome.
